More details to this question:
A 14 year old got pregnant by a 19 year old, completely consensual, no one wants to press charges. The 14 year olds parents do not want to press charges, and neither does the 14 year old. However, child services has pressed charges against the 19 year old. How do we get those charges dropped? No one wants him to go to jail or get in trouble.

the 19 year old needs an attorney. this is a crime and the consent of the 14 year old is not relevant. the statute and case law are clear. the 14 year old cannot consent. we have done many cases of this nature. please check our website for recommendations. please call to discuss. there is no charge. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235
